Best game for Hepo so far at these play-offs, stats wisely anyways.
0+3 +1 tonight vs Pats.
0+8 in 5 games.

It is, but with his playmaking abilities, I think he can get by.
His size is the real reason for concern.

Good players make it regardless of their size. Not worried about that. He just isn't good enough if he can't make it.
So is 0 goals In ten games when your an offensive catalyst. Gotta find a way to at least get to the dirty area and bang in a garbage goal. I haven’t been watching the games so I don’t know for sure but this screams perimeter playin too much. Correct me if I’m wrong anyone who’s been watching

No goals in 14 playoff games last year and none in 10 this year looks kinda bad. One dimensional? Reg. season numbers are crazy so not sure what gives in the playoffs..

Hepo gets his 16th assist, important 2-2 tie first assist, late in third (1:22)
Warriors & Broncos OT 1 at the moment.
Hoping its Heponiemi who scores the OT winner,

Why doesn't Hepo score? He doesn't shoot the puck.
Almost 5 full periods tonight, Heponiemi with 1 SOG.
Broncos win 3-2 OT 2, Gennero scored all 3 Broncos goals.

0+2, at least tonight for Hepo, waiting if they add any points later,
lately in both, WHL&OHL box score stats have been wonky.
Swift Current Broncos win game 7, 6-0 at Moose Jaw.

I know it was your last game of the season and it was your home game, but c'moon!!!!
Your team loses by Tennis numbers, 6-0 and you have nerves to give first star to your own play.

2.09 ppg for an 18 year old in the WHL is insane production, Panthers are so lucky they grabbed this kid in the 2nd round.

Tippett, hepo, Borgstrom on top of barkov, huberdeau and trochek could be insane
I'm really excited if this is my prospect.
But, I'm also concerned that his playoff numbers, 2 seasons in a row fall off significantly.
Gawdin 9 goals and 20 points in 14 playoff games.
Steenbergen 10 goals and 18 points in 14 games.
Heponiemi 0 goals and 14 points in 14 games. That's not 0 goals and 26 assists/points in 28 playoff games over the last 2 seasons.
How much does added size/strength change that? If it's not dramatic, if he already can't produce due to the closer checking style of the playoffs at the WHL level...that's trouble. If he plays at 180-ish which you'd think he'd fill out to...that might negate the size/strength disadvantage he faces.
I like seeing guys like this succeed. But, there is very legit cause for at least some concern.
Agreed. There is obviously some serious flaws if he hasn’t scored in 28 playoff games. Nothing to be overly concerned about but just shows he is probably fine to play another year in junior and 2 years from nhl ready at least

I disagree. (on both of you two)
Hepo just likes to pass it on, he just doesn't shoot the puck, that's all.
Doesn't even take much of shot attempts in a game, he just IS a pure playmaker, some are pure snipers
Hepo is a pure playmaker. Some fans are just over-reacting here.
I think he only attempts a shot,when he thinks there's a 100% certain scoring chance
otherweise, he will pass the puck to his line/team mates.

This is a flaw. Do you understand that? It's something he needs to change if he wants to play in the NHL. You have to shoot more, no matter how much of a play maker you are. Also you're saying that he hasn't had a chance in 28 playoff games where he thought "i can score", and shot the puck at the net? That's what you're implying with your "100% chance to score" -comment, right?

Exactly and that type of mentality doesn’t translate to pro hockey well at all. That is a big flaw. Nevermind that he obviously isn’t getting into scoring areas near enough. Doesn’t take away from his potential or skill level but it’s defintely a big flaw he has to round out and work on
